March this year saw a gamma-ray burst 100 times brighter than any observed. Its unusual brightness, enough to make it a naked-eye object, arose because the beam of radiation was directed towards Earth, making it magnitude 5.3 at its peak - not bad for something halfway across the universe!
Cassini continues to explore Saturn and its satellites by looking more closely at the moons and confirming that some of them have partial rings: clumps of ring material moving with them in orbit.
